STONE SOUR/ex-SOULFLY drummer Roy Mayorga has posted a solo track called "Desert Song" on his Myspace page. The song, which was written and performed entirely by Mayorga with the exception of the guitar solos (which were provided by Jim Root [STONE SOUR, SLIPKNOT] and Levon Sultanian [ONESIDEZERO, ABLOOM]), was originally composed for the drum clinic Mayorga took part in at the Drummer Live 2008 event in the UK.

Video footage of Mayorga performing "Desert Song" at Drummer Live 2008 can be found at this location (Quicktime required). A video interview with Mayorga conducted by VicFirth.com is available here (Quicktime required).
